So, I've been noticing a pattern with my T lately, and it's bugging me, but I feel foolish and selfish bringing it up with her.

For the last couple of weeks, T has been running about 5 minutes late in picking me up from the lobby. Prior to this, she has nearly always been right on time. Waiting stresses me out, and she knows this. Part of me wants to say something to her, and part of me thinks I should just let it slide. She always gives me my full 50 minutes, even if she's late getting me. I think she has a new client right before my session, and I think that client always runs over. I've run over time by 5 or 10 minutes before, so I don't want to be a hypocrite and complain about this, at the same time, it does bother me.

The other thing that I've noticed is that T has her phone alarm set for 10 minutes before the hour in our sessions, and she has to stop and turn it off and then we continue on for another 5 minutes or so. It's very, very distracting to me to have her alarm go off. She's usually excellent at keeping track of time and her new practice of having her phone alarm go off feels very intrusive to our time.

I don't know what's going on with these time issues and my T, but it's bugging me and it's distracting and while I know it probably isn't, it feels personal...like she wants to make sure she only spends exactly 50 minutes with me and not a second more (even though she does give me more time when it's needed and she can do so).
